TOWNSVILLE’s Jack Miller extended his lead in this year’s Moto3 championships after powering past title rival and KTM teammate Romano Fenati.

Miller placed fourth at the weekend’s Catalunya race in Spain after weaving his way through an exciting final lap, where he came within two bike lengths of an unlikely podium finish.

Going into the last lap in eight place, Miller sat behind the pack leaders riders before swooping pass four riders including Fenati. Spanish rider Alex Marquez won Sunday’s race comfortably, but Miller will enter the Dutch TT in a fortnight’s time with a seven-point lead over Fenati, with Marquez a further 18 points behind in third.
